Scotland V England

Thank God I'm not a Scotland fan, my laptop would have been out the window by now.

Scotland leading the possession percentage 59-41

If Scotland don't win this, they only have themselves to blame - dominated the second half with no return

ScrubsfanChris

Scotland doing nearly everything they can to not win this hame. U12's practice that kind of pass...

IMO it was! Scottish player got pressure on the ball, which can be seen from the rotation on the ball stopping significantly!

What? 22 drop out - there was no advantage after the penalty???

Scotland were robbed of three points there alright.
Should have been a penalty as no advantage accrued.

What's the definition in the law? Any pressure or significant pressure or what?

visible/controlled downward pressure on the ball is required


Scotland seem to be doing everything in their power to lose this

Bloody hell. Scotland doing all they can to lose this

Ah ffs Blair!

[Jackass]

Nah....no way man. How many chances can you throw away and still think you deserve to be in the game? Scotland are awful. England aren't much better.

thomond2006

Taxi for Scotland. Seriously.

Juwwi

Fook sake Scotland are frustrating.

chupacabra

Scotland are woeful, as are England. I wouldnt fear either of them.

ongarite

Pure ****e and frustration again for the Scots.

Fair enough. I just think you can see from what everyone else is saying the opinion is devided a bit on it. Would say to me your being a bit harsh. But that's the beauty of opinions!:D

Other way Scotland, god it's been a rough day of rugby viewing

That was the forwards' fault as much as Blair's.

kmart6

Scotland seem determined to lose this!

ScrubsfanChris

Scotland haven't scored now for over 35 minutes... another Scotland knock on as I write this

Crazy thing to say, you take it one game at a time and on it's own merit -there's no way Ireland can afford to rest on their laurels against England on the basis of their play tonight, it doesn't work that way

irishbucsfan

Blair has been a massive improvement though.

rebel girl 15

Farrell short with the penalty - and then give it away!

Lucky to get the penalty!

Oh god bless their hands brutal stuff

ScissorPaperRock

These handling errors are frustrating, to say the least.

nkay1985

I can't believe Scotland are going to manage to lose this.

hots

I haven't seen this many mistakes since the last time I was at the maternity ward...

kmart6

All the possession is pointless when they just fcuk it up every time!

thomond2006

You have to give credit to England for their discipline, another side would have given away 10-15 penalties with Scotland having all the ball.

England with a kickable attempt here.

rebel girl 15

Big kick now!

ScrubsfanChris

If its 6-13 after this kick, its all over for the Scots.

rebel girl 15

Scotland need a converted try to draw - can't see Scotland winning now

mar-z

Can't see Scotland getting back into it now.

rebel girl 15

Silly, silly silly! Could have had a lineout in the 22, and yet threw it in

thomond2006

6-13, game over.

[Jackass]

Woah! Glitch in the matrix there!!

mar-z

Took a quick throw when they would have had a lineout in the 22 :rolleyes:

pc7

When you think of the last weekend of the heineken cup pool stages and the standard of rugby played, the two matches today were absolute pants. Hope it's not an indicator of the 6 nations to come:(

If this were Scotland's first ever game of rugby I'd be impressed but not surprised

[Jackass]

Any half decent side would have put England to the sword tonight.

thomond2006

Surely that should be a penalty for England offside?

Thought the same but Farrell was drifting back as he caught it, ended up behind whoever caught making him appear offside.

4 mins to go - Scotland need to score off this scrum to have any hope

Davis Denton motm

Denton motm. Not much competition.

rebel.ranter

Struggled to stay awake for this match. Terrible stuff.

rebel girl 15

Last chance gone - knock on
